7amleh – The Arab Center for the Advancement of Social Media launched the first Palestine Digital Activism Forum in 2017, and since then it has become one of 7amleh’s annual events. The PDAF aims to:

• Provide a platform to discuss the challenges that Palestinians face the Palestinian civil society to protect Palestinian digital rights and digital activists working on the Palestinian cause in a positive and constructive manner.
• Provide a space for exchanging social media experiences and expertise in order to develop social media activism inside and outside Palestine and to develop strategies to address the serious challenges and threats faced by digital activists.
• Link the work of local organizations and movements with international counterparts to exchange experiences and to find solutions to the dilemmas they face and ways to cooperate and coordinate actions.

Members of the Tor Project will speak at this event.

ETHPrague is an event focused on the future of Ethereum and potential concepts or applications that don't yet exist.

We want to tackle challenges that could arise in the next decade because we believe Ethereum will play a major role in solving economic, social, and environmental problems. The future is in your hands, anon! You decide whether we end up living in a dark, authoritarian dystopia or a bright, solarpunk utopia.
